Royce Lewis, the Minnesota Twins’ top pick in the 2017 MLB draft with the first overall selection, got his professional career off to a rollicking start by hitting a home run in his first at-bat with the Gulf Coast League rookie Twins squad.

Lewis also described the reception he received in the dugout after his home-run debut.

“That’s awesome bro, congrats, so excited for you, so happy for you,'” Lewis said of what his new teammates said to him upon returning to the dugout after his home run. “They called me ‘The Kid.’ They said, ‘The Kid’s back at it again!'”

Some eyebrows were raised when the Twins selected Lewis with the first overall pick in the MLB amateur draft earlier this month. This came after Brendan McKay rejected their offer and the Twins opted to pass on selecting arguably better prospects in Hunter Greene, and Kyle Wright.

But that’s not to say Lewis, rated by Baseball America heading into the draft as the No. 5 prospect, isn’t a talented ballplayer with a lot of upside in his own right.
